14th Street School Alumni hold second reunion
By Marva Reid, Special to The Chronicle
The 14th Street School Alumni celebrated their second annual All Class Reunion at the 14th Street Recreation Center. Alumni wore red T-shirts during the event on Saturday, Aug. 12.
14th Street School is known for its great teachers and history, however, to be entertained by the awesome talented singing and dancing students ages ranging from 50 years to 85 years of age was truly a joy.
We enjoyed the Eliminators Group, Karaoke with Brunson King, Chris McCoy, Vernon Cloud, Alton Canon, Teddy Petree, and James Nelson, who were crooning a few old school tunes, and there was comedy with Herbert Allen. We enjoyed the delicious food by the Pauling’s Catering Affair, an Alumni member.
The president of the 14th Street School Alumni, Alfred Harvey, states that the school gave us so much and that the East Winston Community can look forward to the alumni giving back.
We will be planning future events and the ultimate goal is to return a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) school on location of our beloved 14th Street School site. We have been in conversation with some members of the county, school board and City Council about returning a much-needed school in this area of the East Winston Community.
